Pochersee at KnappenhausPhoto: Ötztal Tourismus Büro Oetz, Ötztal
From the Issbrücke shortly after Mareil, it goes up steeply on the hiking trail to the Upper Issalm (not operated) and from there continuing with a slight ascent to the Knappenhaus with stamp mill. The Knappenhaus is partially accessible as a small museum and provides interesting insights into the life and work of the miners from 350 years ago. Below the path lies the Pochersee.
Return is via the same path.
